2022 Vauxhall Mokka E SRI Premium Electric · BJ22 TZT

The DVSA record for this 2022 Vauxhall Mokka-e presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile, with two consecutive MOT passes on file and no advisories, failures, or defects recorded at either test. The most recent examination on 13 March 2026 returned a pass with no defects, continuing the unbroken trend established at the prior test on 11 March 2025. This absence of any flagged items across both inspections is notable given that even lightly used vehicles typically accumulate at least minor advisories relating to tyre wear, brake disc lipping, or minor surface corrosion as they age. Mechanically, this suggests the braking system, suspension components, steering linkages, underbody structure, and lighting equipment were all deemed sound at the point of testing, and there is no historical pattern in the DVSA data to suggest an emerging weakness in any specific subsystem. With a recorded mileage of 22,990 miles over an approximate four-year span, this Mokka-e has covered an annual average of around 5,750 miles, placing it firmly in the low-mileage bracket for its age. There is no indication in the MOT history of any gaps in testing or sudden mileage jumps that might suggest extended periods off the road followed by heavy use, and the steady accumulation points to consistent but limited driving, likely a mix of urban commutes and shorter journeys. For an electric vehicle such as the Mokka-e, this usage pattern carries specific considerations: low-mileage EV operation means the high-voltage battery has experienced fewer full charge cycles than a higher-mileage counterpart, which is generally favourable for long-term battery health, but it also means the 12V auxiliary battery, brake fluid, coolant, and cabin filter may have aged more in calendar terms than in use terms. The condition of the tyres should be considered in this context, as low mileage often allows the original tyres to remain fitted well beyond their optimal age window in terms of rubber degradation. Because the MOT history carries no advisories to draw upon, there are no specific components flagged for targeted inspection, but a prospective buyer should still carry out a structured physical examination and test drive. On a road test, listen carefully for any clonks or knocks from the front suspension, especially Macpherson strut top mounts, anti-roll bar drop links, and wishbone bushes, which can deteriorate on any vehicle regardless of MOT outcome. The regenerative function should be verified across its selectable modes, and the transition to friction braking should feel seamless with no grinding or judder, indicating the brake calipers are not seizing from under-use, a common concern on low-mileage vehicles. Inspect the brake discs for any surface rust that has progressed to pitting or scoring, as prolonged light braking can leave light corrosion on the friction surface. Given the electric powertrain, particular attention should be paid to the charging port and cable for any scorch marks or connector damage, and the on-board systems should confirm the state of health of the traction battery along with the remaining range at the current state of charge. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any corrosion to the suspension subframes, brake lines, and undertray fixings, as even clean MOT results can mask developing surface corrosion on EV underbodies exposed to winter road salt. Verify the operation of the parking brake, which on the Mokka-e is an electric actuator rather than a conventional cable system, ensuring it engages and releases cleanly. Finally, check for any warning messages on the instrument cluster, particularly relating to the airbag system, electronic stability control, or high-voltage system isolation, none of which would necessarily have been triggered during a standard MOT procedure but remain critical to safe operation.
